AFL Auction Action: 1988 Saints VFL Cards
Those were the days when the football cards were cheap and plentiful. But there is another attribute that makes them more useful than cards today. Not only did the card have a space to get the player's autograph but as the card was not coated in a glossy finish they were also much easier to write on.
1988-Scanlens ST.KILDA- 7 CARDS
There was also a Tony Lockett card that year, number 94 in the set of 144 cards.
The 1988 cards may have also been the first cards for the Brisbane Bears and West Coast Eagles.
The VFL Grand Final winner, Carlton, got a special card with Kernahan and Walls on the front. But the same honour also went to the Little League Premiers, card 144 had Essendon kids on it. There was even greater excitement in the set than those cards, as not only was there a Brisbane card for Geoff Raines but Jim Jess of Richmond also had a card. Plenty of kids were excited to open a pack and see "The Ghost".
